Emmanuel Circle’s Mission is the Shepherd’s Gate Women’s Shelter. Emmanuel Circle collects toiletries and other needed items to give to the women every month. This Circle is fondly known as the “Chicken Pot Pie” Circle because of its November fundraiser to support Shepherd’s Gate. At each meeting, the group enjoys light refreshments and a devotion. There is always plenty of laughter and fun. Each year is kicked off with a cookout and the fellowship continues all year.

GIFT Circle reads and discusses a book each year. They also host a great overnight retreat in the fall and a weekend retreat to the beach in the spring, as well as several social/dinners at local restaurants.
